Down Lover's Lane reminds me of this sweet little shop where I purchased the tiara for my wedding. It's quaint, chic and oh so elegant. I love browsing Down Lover's Lane and looking at all the pretties. Check out some of my favorites below.


How is this for old school glitz and glamor. A 40's 50's Dazzling Tassle necklace. Perfect for all formal occasions, but I think it would make a fabulous addition to your wedding day.











More treasures! I love this red set a 1940's necklace and earrings set from West Germany. What a perfect pair of accessories for your Valentine's Day celebration.



    
Check out these cuties' ! These Glorious Deco Drops are also 1940's.

The other really great thing about Down Lover's Lane is that it's like you are there shopping in person and talking to the salesperson. The owner of this shop really goes into full details and you know what you are buying.



I hope you head Down Lover's Lane for your next special vintage accessory!

The Daily Swank - A Sweet N Shabby Valentine's Day!

My taste in vintage is all over the place, I tell you. That's why I'm not an interior decorator, if I were it would be a nightmare because I would be all over with styles. I love so many different eras of time as well as styles, colors, themes and I even like modern a little too. I have to say I'm drawn to the shabby style and it comes as a shock to my friends and family, because pinks and girlie aren't what you would find in my home. I'm more of a bolder and natural deeper tones with a lot of green as in tree green.

However, when I stumble upon shops like in today's Daily Swank that little girl inside me jumps out and I want to be doused in lace and glitter. So for this Valentine's Day share a little of that shabbiness inside of you with someone you love with these gorgeous designs from Sweet N Shabby Roses.

Can you say Love Shack? You certainly can with these darling "Love Shacks" hand crafted little Valentine's houses from Sweet N Shabby Roses. I think these would add a perfect touch of whimsy to decorate your house with this Valentine's Day!

I also very much love crafts and things that have a special meaning and shop owner Rhea has special memories of making these ornaments with her great grandmother. She now follows that same tradition of apply each bead by hand for you.

Lastly for today's Daily Swank are these lovely Angel Valentine's Gift Cards. Head over to Sweet N Shabby Roses shop for these, gift tags, tussie's and more.

Enjoy!
